Fun concept, the game need a little polish here and there but the potential is clearly there to make a good platformer/puzzle game

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Interesting concept, i can sense a good potential with the mechanics, i find the integration of the theme interesting as a virus multiply himself, good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yo, great idea! I like interpretation of the theme

Thanks for playing!

loved the idea and mechanics!! it was interesting.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Glad you found it interesting

Submitted

A good game with fun mechanics and appealing visuals, but I’d like to see more levels and a greater variety of mechanics

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

I plan on making a post-jam version, so stay tuned

Submitted

Very interesting game! I'm impressed with how you handled the limited color and still created a readable game. Besides some physics/camera jank, it was a pretty fun platformer that used a unique mechanic that plays well into the theme/special object of this jam.

Thanks for playing!

I will be doing a post jam version to fix up the game, especially the camera

I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Interesting platformer mechanic. Outside of the jank with the camera, its some cool chaos and it was pretty funny near the end where I decided to sacrifice tons of little guys in the hopes one of them could push through. Seems like you want to keep working on this game, and yeah I think there's something cool here! Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I definitely plan to a post jam version in the near future

Nothing big, just a cleanup of mechanics and proper levels

Thank you very much!

I looove the cloning mechanism! 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Im glad you had fun!

It's a pretty ordinary platformer with fun mechanics, but a little boring. I think if we somehow develop this parasitism mechanic for a larger number of creatures with different effects, then I think it can become a very good game.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Having balloons which release different kinds of viruses when popped is a good idea

Submitted

Want to see more !!! Love the cloning mechanism :D For the screen dezoom having a bit of space around the viruses that are far from the center would be neat. Also the black characters and dark grey background is not a good match to me, you don’t see them very well :O And a bit of music/sfx would be great !!! But I love controlling an army of viruses, I’m a fan :D

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Thank you very much!

This is a really unique idea for a game like this, but the cloning mechanic doesn't seem to be that important. Also, it might just be me, but there's no audio. Still, I personally see potential.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Theres no audio in the game yet

I definitely will use moving separate groups of clones as a puzzle mechanic in the post jam version

Submitted

For a rough draft, it’s a bit early to say if it’s really good, but I can definitely see the appeal of a puzzle platformer using a balloon.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I hope to clean it up after the jam, adding in more mechanics like actually needing lots of clones to do puzzles, and cleaning up the camera and stage design
